Fantastic 400 for Twelve

ICG's social media and design teams are celebrating after hitting the fantastic '400 fans' milestone on Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar's Facebook page.

Designed and managed by ICG, the profile keeps diners up to date with all the latest menus, special offers, competitions and outside catering successes.

The restaurant's Twitter feed, which is also managed by ICG, is also growing in popularity, with more than 300 followers.

Owned and managed by husband and wife team Paul Moss and Caroline Upton, Twelve is one of only two restaurants in Lancashire to hold the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand status; it also holds 2AA Rosettes.

ICG has been working with Twelve since May 2010 providing public relations, marketing and creative design services.

Entries flood in for Mall Champions

Entering the online Realm

We have extended our services to our client Realm in recent months, with an overhaul of six of its shopping outlet websites.

After devising an overall theme, which focuses on the core information that people look for before visiting a shopping outlet, we created a unique identity that appeals to the individual demographics of each.

All sites are fully content managed and the ICG digital team will work with management at Realm to maintain and update information on a regular basis.

Here is a list of the sites, please click on each one to view:

Blue Sky thinking

One of our latest design projects saw the creative team developing branding for a new corporate finance company.

As an independent consultancy practice that deals with blue chip organisations across the UK, it is imperative that Blue Sky Corporate Finance conveys a professional image at all times.

Using a subtle mix of blue and grey on white space the team came up with clean cut concepts that would appeal to senior management and then rolled this branding out across the stationery, corporate literature and website.
